Bichon: Apologies for any inactivity on my end the past few days. We had a member of family pass away, and I have not been online much.
Hope you are all keeping well.
    damommy: Sorry for your loss. Hope to see you back soon. -
    Gloria ....: Sorry to hear that, Chloe. My thoughts are with you and I will be looking for your safe return. -
    mrsmajor: I'm so sorry to hear that, When you're ready we'll be right here waiting for you...My Prayer are for you and your family...Take Care.. -
    Suzanna Ray: Dear Bichon, after reading this lovely poem, I definitely want to be a fan.
    One post a week IS about my speed, because I love to keep in contact with my fans, (even with my limited vision and one finger typing)
    I am glad that you have found at least three great mentors. I know you will only get better with their help. -


Bichon: Does anyone have a goodreads account?
    Makahla J: Hi there, follow me on Goodreads @ makahla jackson -
    robyn corum: Chloe, you should be able to find me, too. Robyn Corum

    Thanks! -
    Bichon: Added you, Robyn!

    Your name is not coming up for me, Makahla. :( -


Bichon: I might start sharing some quotes here from of my favourite novels and poems. That way, you can get to explore my reading interests a bit better. Feel free to let me know your own favourites too!

Is it better to speak or to die - Call me by your name, André Aciman
    damommy: You might start a new thread in the forum for this. That way, we know where to look, and they'll be in one place all together. -
    Bichon: Good idea, just posted it on general! -


Bichon: just out of curiosity, how many poems would you think fit into an average poetry book? i have been researching it online, most modern poetry books seem to average between 40-60 poems per book i think. interesting!
    closetpoetjester: I think you're on the money. I DIY published back in 2017 and my book had 45 poems. With that said, it could depend on the genre too. -


Bichon: These last three weeks have felt more like three months. Hope everyone is okay x
    mrsmajor: Yes it has, no matter where you live...I wish you all the best..Take Care, and Stay Well... -


Bichon: There is a lot of chaos going on in Ireland. All schools and colleges have been shut for two weeks, but I predict they will stay closed for longer, probably over Easter. My college interview was postponed, and I am not sure when it will go ahead. Currently I am staying mostly inside except for going out to the gym, but once they close I will not be going anywhere I doubt. I have all of my school books to revise some topics, and I will be reading to fill my time too! Stay safe everyone.
    damommy: They've closed the schools here for the rest of the month. My grandson going to college in Virginia said everything closed there last week. You stay safe, too. -
    nor84: Several states are cancelling the rest of the school semester. In California, people over 60 are advised to stay home except for trips to grocery stores and pharmacies. I understand some states are making it mandatory for seniors to remain at home and they can be arrested for not doing so. This is a very serious virus. Stay safe, folks. -


Bichon: Just a little message to you all: thank you all so much for the kind reviews as of late. I know I have been a bit inactive during the week due to school and study. My oral exams start in two weeks, which will count towards my final grade in language subjects, so they are a bit stressful. I am also waiting to hear back about a journalism course I applied for, as the interviews are opening in two weeks also. I must admit, I am quite excited to further pursue my passion in writing when college starts! It will be interesting to see where it takes me. Hope you all are doing well, have a great weekend!
    sandramitchell: I wish you well in your exams, Chloe, and I've got my fingers crossed you get the journalism course. :) You concentrate on those, we'll still be here when you have the time. xx -
    Bichon: Thank you Sandra! Unfortunately my interview has been cancelled because of the Coronavirus. All schools & colleges are closed for at least two weeks! -


Bichon: Thank you all for the wonderful birthday wishes! 18 is a big one, and I hope to be on this site for many years to come.
    DR DIP: oh to be18 again Enjoy your youth B and the many discoveries and experiences life brings.
